Background
Commercial leases in New York City are generally not covered by rent regulation, so rent and terms are negotiated between the landlord and the business. When a space changes to a new kind of use, the owner or tenant may need Department of Buildings (DOB) approvals and a certificate of occupancy that matches the new use before it opens to the public.
